In a political culture long dominated by godfatherism and inherited loyalties, a quiet but powerful message is emerging from Nigeria’s shifting political landscape: choice still matters.
Consider this striking reality. Bello El-Rufai stands firmly with the All Progressives Congress, even as his father, Nasir El-Rufai, aligns himself with the African Democratic Congress.
The same pattern repeats itself on an even bigger national stage. Abba Atiku is APC, while his father, Atiku Abubakar, is flying the flag of the ADC as a presidential hopeful.
This is no coincidence. It is a statement.
What Nigerians must not miss is the deeper lesson behind these political choices: ADC is not a family franchise. It is not a private estate handed down from father to son. It is an open, democratic platform where conviction outweighs bloodline, and ideology matters more than surname.
In a country where political obedience is often enforced and loyalty is inherited rather than earned, the ADC is quietly rewriting the rules. It is proving that politicians — and citizens alike — can disagree, diverge, and still coexist within a democratic framework.
Here, sons are not compelled to follow fathers. Ambition is not chained to lineage. Political belief is personal.
That freedom is ADC’s loudest message yet.
As Nigeria searches for a future built on genuine democracy rather than recycled dominance, this clarity of choice is why many believe the ADC deserves national support. Not because of who leads it — but because of what it represents: a politics where Nigerians are free to choose their own path.
And in today’s Nigeria, that may be the most radical idea of all.
